That's correct. And it only has to go to an FFL if going out of state.

You don't have to have a copy of the FFL it is going to. You are supposed to inform them it is a long gun, I believe, but when I did it seemed to confuse them. They did ask if it was unloaded, so make sure it is!!!

Dealer to dealer can use USPS to ship handguns. Must fill out a form 1508.

For a long gun you can ship it to an FFL without problem via USPS.
